Usually your leading by 1 or 2 goals and the AI decides to have a go at you and switch's to 4-2-4. How do you respond?
My normal starting formation is 4-4-2 diamond with a conference team. I'm tired of conceeding late goals and want to shut up shop. Any ideas?

5-4-1

wingbacks stop the two extra wingers and 3 in the middle should stop strikers.

Use counter attack and defensive line deep.

442 with pushed wingers (ie. either runs forward or pushed into the AML/AMR spots), play counter attacking.

This will hopefully encourage the opposition forward and give you space and thus a great chance for ripping them apart when you get the ball ... especially if their DL/DR's support the attacks which is fairly common as most opposition teams are attacking when they switch to a 4-2-4.
